^16 (A)“I, Jesus, have sent my angel to testify to you about these things ^(B)for the churches. I am ^(C)the root and ^(D)the descendant of David, ^(E)the bright morning star.”

⁸ And when he had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders ^(A)fell down before the Lamb, ^(B)each holding a harp, and ^(C)golden bowls full of incense, ^(D)which are the prayers of the saints.

⁸ At the same time, it is ^(A)a new commandment that I am writing to you, which is true in him and in you, because^{[a] (B)}the darkness is passing away and ^(C)the true light is already shining.

¹⁹ And ^(A)we have the prophetic word more fully confirmed, to which you will do well to pay attention ^(B)as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until ^(C)the day ^(D)dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts,

⁹ according to the custom of the priesthood, he was chosen by lot ^(A)to enter ^(B)the temple of the Lord and burn incense. ¹⁰ And the whole multitude of the people ^(C)were praying ^(D)outside at the hour of incense.

² But for you ^(A)who fear my name, ^(B)the sun ^(C)of righteousness shall rise ^(D)with healing in its wings. You shall go out ^(E)leaping like calves from the stall.

¹¹ For from the rising of the sun to its setting my name ^(A)will be^[a] great among the nations, and in every place incense will be offered to my name, and a pure offering. For my name ^(B)will be great among the nations, says the Lord of hosts.
